GT-R Brakes

Does anyone know if GT-R calipers and rotors directly bolt up to a 370Z with no modification?

Brazilbro · 11-13-2010, 11:28 PM

Im sure if they did there would be a DIY already

I seriously doubt they would bolt on just like that... you would for sure need custom brackets.

actually, I wouldn't be surprised if we used the same spindles as the GTR, or at least very closely related ones. They might, but they are way pricey. You would be much better off just buying a brembo kit for the 370.

3,500 for caliper, brakes, lines and pads with 7000kms on NAGTROC
as well that's 380mm front and back

so you think it would bolt right on

I think chances are good. Your best bet would be to call a shop that is familiar with both, like maybe Forged Performance.

It's been done on a 350z, you just need to find the appropriate brackets for the 370z (if they are available) or have them made.

No, they don't. The GT-R front caliper is a 3-bolt mount, not a typical 2-bolt mount. Besides, the GT-R has a lot more weight in the rear due to the transaxle being back there. GT-R brakes on a 370Z would have too much rear bias for sure. Also, the GT-R Brembos have 27% LESS piston area than the OE 370Z Sport/Akebono brakes and the GT-R uses a larger master cylinder (+13%). Sorry, but it's not apples to apples at all.
